Pleasant Street
[Verse 1]
You don't remember what to say
Don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
Don't remember what to choose
[Chorus]
You wheel, you steal
You feel, you kneel down
Down, down
Down
Down, down
Down, down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate
And I can't wait for Pleasant Street
[Verse 2]
The sunshine reminds you
Of concreted skies
You thought you were flying
But you opened your eyes
And found yourself falling
Back to yesterday's lies
Hello, Pleasant Street
Don't you know she's back again
[Chorus]
You wheel, you steal
You feel, you kneel down
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate
And I can't wait for Pleasant Street
[Verse 3]
At twilight your lover
Comes to your room
He'll spin you, he'll weave you
'Round his emerald loom
And softly you'll whisper
All around his ear
"Sweet lover
I love Pleasant Street
I wheel, I steal
I feel my way down to kneel"
[Outro]
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down
Down, down
